Original: mercedes amg petronas formula one team
Mercedes driver George Russell will start the Singapore Grand Prix from the back of the grid after taking a penalty. The penalty stems from an engine failure at the Bahrain Grand Prix, which forced the team to fit new power unit components beyond his allocation. The news means Russell will face an uphill fight at a circuit where overtaking is notoriously difficult, dealing a blow to Mercedes' hopes in both races.
